You might want to stay away. But I don't think I'd have thought to assign banana flavor to them. They do have a creamyish flavor. And I like them but more as a variety thing. I've noted you saying you aren't fond of many fruits so it might not be worthwhile. I have considered trying to start some in a shady creekbed on our property. If I do I'll either start from seed or just go dig up seedlings. I think our soil is too alkaline which is usually what divides East Texas flora from the rest of us.
WARNING Food Slide:
I like watermelon, cantaloupe, black berries and peaches - an occasional cherry or grape. We can’t seem to grow watermelon or cantaloupes for last several years—something makes the vines fail before they mature. Have tried all sorts of remedies/researched etc.
Squirrels got all the peaches last year. Coons got the grapes, and the Cherry tree had teeny tiny fruit about the size of a grain of wheat. LOL
My grandmother used to bring home pawpaws from when she went walking. She never would divulge the location - I think ‘cause she was afraid I would get snake bit or bee stung or drown in the river.
But anyway, pawpaws were a delicious, once in a while treat! As I recall, they look similar to a mango and taste similar to a banana-mango combination. YUM!!!!
